Proverbs 16:9 states, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps,” I have found that within my life to this point, I can only focus on the beginning of this passage. I made the decision to believe that I plan my own path in life and that God would not have any part of however I want to go about living my own life. I’d say “free will”, that it is my decision, my own destiny, and no one elses. See, I have taken upon the state of mind that “I am the way, the truth, and I am going to live my life the way that I see fit”. How can we break away from this ill-ridden path of building up my empire rather than building up his kingdom? What can I do to allow others …show more content…

The missions statement that I have chosen for this reason, to honor God, is stated as: Since we are creatures designed in the likeness and image of God, we will work with love, compassion, patience, faithfulness, and joy in the hopes of reflecting Christ within our lives and the lives of everyone we connect with through our places of work; to be the …show more content…

If my life is great why do I even need God in the first place? For the first part of this conversation I will reference Genesis 1. Throughout the whole chapter of the God fabricates the Earth in 7 days by through his own labor. By the closing of the 6th day after God had created all things Genesis 1:31 states, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good…”. Fast forward to the proceeding chapter when God decides to make Mankind, beginning with Adam and Eve. God created man in his own image, in the image of God. Now if God worked to create the world, the universe, and everything in it, and if we were designed within his image would we start to inherit some of his traits? The point being made here is that God designed us to work. Humans are made for work. We are designed in the likeness of God and because of that we are laborers by our inner nature from how we reflect what God designed us to be. Laziness was not something that we were designed with, it was a sin that we acquired on our own time. So, why should God be incorporated into our workplace? Duke Barret, PhD holder and professor at Denver Seminary, answers this question the best by saying, “Part of our purpose as humans, created in God’s image, is to work. Now, I know that for many people the workplace is not very conducive for worship or praise. Yet, when we understand that God made us to work, every workplace takes on new spiritual meaning,”. Since we are designed in

Further, Keller emphasizes that work as God designed sets humans apart from the rest of creation, and that certain types of work are not better or more sophisticated than others in God’s eyes (Keller 48-49). Keller also reminds his readers that work is meant to be cultivation, or culture making, as seen in the Cultural Mandate in the first chapter of Genesis, and is not only to be service to God but also to other people through love and through what Keller calls the “ministry of competency (76-80).” As Keller moves to his second section, called “Our Problems with Work,” he identifies and analyzes the ways sin has affected our view and response to work. For example, Keller first explains that work, affected by sin, becomes fruitless, meaning sin affects every aspect of personal and public life, and even of both secular and “sacred” spaces (86,89). Moreover, Keller states that as a result of sin, “we will be able to envision far more than we can ever accomplish” and the experience of work itself will be one of strife

In this paper, three motifs will be discussed and examples will be provided for each. Specifically, the idea of humans being made from organic materials, the idea of the earth being made of a being’s body, and the idea that from the beginning of mankind, humans were made to work and toil.

In Psalm 127:1 it was recorded that “except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” To labour and watch are acceptable and essential life activities but they have to be done while recognising the place of God in granting success. The Almighty God blesses the individual and people that recognise Him as the Lord while He punishes those who refuse to recognise His

I wanna pursue it in the way the Lord is leading me and calling me to serve him and serve the bigger picture. Maybe that's making sandwiches every day. Maybe that's doing research that gets published and maybe it’s not, I don't know. I am just trying to follow Him. I think it's really important to seek the ways in which the Lord is calling you in the form of justice and to make sure that you are always seeking the dignity of those around you… Jesus’s kingdom is always advanced through love and peace and never through destruction and violence.”

Multiple authors have different meanings towards their work with their storyline. However they all have something in common which is the idea of a “quest”. A quest consist of five things, “a quester, a place to go,a stated reason to go there, challenge and trail, a real reason to go there” Foster pg.3 Thomas C. Foster, makes this point to demonstrate that every author's literary work has an idea of a quest due to the fact they want to express them self through writing from;can also be translated as a theme. This applies to Brave New World by Huxley because he wrote about a society that controls every aspect human life,but of course there's always a protagonist that sees awful civilization. John is one of the may protagonist in the novel, he

Hi Peeps, Today 's Quote "Potential means nothing when it is accompanied with foolish talk, empty words, lazy work and contempt!" ~ Jon Barnes  Potential We fill our days with empty ideas, foolish ways, fake stories, and waisted opportunities to do good things that would make God proud to be the Father of All. But some of us find the time and the way to connect with God, study His ideas, and follow His suggestions. Too much time waisted on complaining eats up the time you need to solve your own problems with God 's help. Don 't reject the help of your Father, God!

All of the words spoken around me causing me to fill with more fear, and dread. After we were sorted, I was sure I would be heading for the crematorium, and as we got closer the fear only grew, relief coming only as we continued past the pit.

Growing up my mother told me stories about how the world used to be different. The people were good the world was good. Earth apparently was this wonderful place with beautiful cities, where the buildings were made of glass and looked as if they were part of the sky. The countryside had rolling hills and forest filled with all different colors of greens and the most beautiful animals, but the world has changed and that’s not the world I've come to know. Mother had cities made of glass I have cities of rubble and abound building all a faint memory of what used to be.

I awake to find myself falling through an empty, bottomless hole, knowing not what would await at the end. Finally, seeing a speck of light right below me, I was soon to find out where this endless pit has taken me to. Slightly floating down to the ground, I start to see where I have arrived, which words cannot describe it. But to my knowledge I was in a colorful forest, which soared through the land with trees that reached the sky, and islands floating in the sky. A mysterious shady creature greets me from the shadows with a big grin.

As in Genesis, “God created mankind in his image”(Genesis 1:27). Humans, though having been made in God’s image, are still the replica that never quite fulfills the true form of the thing it aims to reproduce. According to God, humans may be made to look like him, but this does not necessarily mean we are made to function on the same level as him. However, the imperfect recreation of God seen in humans was done purposefully to create a clear separation between what is God and what is human. If humans were made to the exact specifications of what God is, no longer would the
